She attended Miller Ridge School, Oliverhurst California Public Schools, and is a graduate of both Central High School and Millie’s Beauty College, of Ft. Smith Arkansas. She was a talented beautician; however, she dedicated her life to the Lord, her family and to the Hanson Baptist Church community. She was devoted to the church bus ministry and to children’s ministry for over fifty years. She focused her life on leading children to Christian salvation and putting others before herself. Her Christian faith will continue to bless everyone she ever met. She was also an avid gardener and enjoyed being outdoors in nature enjoying God’s creation.
